ExtremeTech held a competition for the most extravagant PC case mod, and this is the spec list that walked away (or, rather, rolled out) with the top prize:

Height: 6′10″
Weight: 125 lbs
Motherboard: EVGA nForce 680i SLI
Graphics cards: (2) GeForce 8800GTS OC
PSU: Enermax 1000W Power Supply
RAM: 2GB (Corsair XMS2 2×1GB RAM)
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6850
HDDs: (2) Western Digital RaptorX 150GB
Case: Custom Built Optimus Prime that actually transformed and has a removable Autobot Matrix of Leadership complete with live lightning effects!

Now, if only we had an Optimus Maximus keyboard to go with it, we’d be set. Found via Forever Geek.

Jay Garmon has a vast and terrifying knowledge of all things obscure, obtuse, and irrelevant. One day, he hopes to write science fiction, but for now he'll settle for something stranger -- amusing and abusing IT pros. Read his full profile. You can also follow him on his personal blog or via his Twitter feed.
